On Saturday, March 29th, participating artists will be given all the chalk they need to create their masterpieces on the sidewalk surrounding Downtown’s James Weldon Johnson Park.
Artists will get six hours to work, while the public can walk around and ask about the pieces.
Non-artists will get their own chance to participate: The final winners will be chosen through a combination of judge and public votes.
